I'm so glad I got to watch these races live back in the day. Martin and Jarrett had super years, but the 24 team was unstoppable that year. Had to generate a lot of frustration. "What do we have to do?"

[@CameronLogan-sd3wm]

Absolutely amazing! From 1995 to 1998, each year, Jeff won the Food City 500 race at Bristol and the Southern 500 race at Darlington. Incredible. Jeff Gordon has always been my favorite race car driver. I started watching the races in 1995.

After Rusty spun Jeff out at Richmond (spring) he didn’t know what he did, he awoke a sleeping GIANT, after that DNF, Jeff would spend the rest of the year getting 20 more top 10s, half of those were wins, 10 wins after the spin out, not to mention 4 wins in a row.

[@CJODell12]

Jeff Gordon dominated 1998 so much that out of all 33 races held that year, he only finished outside of the top 10 five times. In addition to his modern-era tying 13 wins (39.4%), he had 26 top-5 finishes (78.8%), 28 top-10 finishes (84.8%), 7 poles (21.2%), and an average finish of 5.69.

i love the quick comments you edited in there of Martin after most of these races. hahaha you can tell he's trying to be a nice guy like Mark is, but i honestly think if there was ever a guy Mark wanted to fight in his whole life, it would be Jeff. Especially during this season. haha Jeff is the MAN! 90% of the other years, Mark would have won the title with the finishes he had that year. Jeffwas just completely invincible in '98.

[@jeffgordonedits1258]

Mark honestly should have won the title with the year he had and in any other season he would have; JG's success though, like you said, was just inconceivable.

Ray and Jeff were deadly in the 1990s. Best driver crew chief combo besides Richard and Dale Inman or Jimmie and Chad.

[@jeffgordonedits1258]

JJ and Chad came nowhere close to putting up the numbers Jeff and Ray did, though I'd argue Jeff's career was far more impressive due to how versatile he was scoring the most total season points with FOUR different crew chiefs 😎

Amen Jimmie benefited of a flawed system

[@AImpatientMan]

The most frustrating thing to me about the chase onwards is we were robbed of so many storylines that would of occured naturally without a gimmicked system. Jeff winning 7 cups would of been one of the biggest storylines obviously, but Johnson was going to win two cups back to back by 4 and 7 points respectively while winning a third by 300+ points. Matt Kenseth would of won his second cup in 2006 by ONE POINT. Harvick/KFB would be back to back champions. Edwards would of won one as he should of. Jeff would win his 7th/final cup one year before retirement, and Larson's 2021 storyline would of played out as it did irl where he gets banned, reforms, then wins a cup on his return. But instead we get to spend every race this summer talking about if logano/KFB are going to make the playoffs despite knowing that even with the contrived format they will still be eliminated early, meanwhile Elliot is having a Kenseth season of silent domination but no one even knows about this storyline besides people who go out of their way to follow a Winston cup points format

God the old point system is just so boring. Drivers won’t race for the win when they have a big point lead. 1998, prime example that every race car driver will go for the win no matter how ahead/behind in the points they are.

[@chrisshockey3681]

What are you talking about? Are you incinuating that Gordon would've won 20 races if he had been trying? I think changing the points system ruined the sport. Consistency should definitely matter . It's a bunch of BS that a driver can crash as many times as he wants as long as he wins he's in . That's like saying a 1-15 team should make the playoffs just because they beat the Patriots. C'mon man. There's a hell of a lot more pressure knowing that if you have one more DNF you're out of the title hunt. May as well give them a participation trophy. Even Jeff Gordon can attest to that . He won 10 races in '96 and didn't win the championship. He's been on both sides of it . He wins 10 under the old system and finishes 2nd in the championship because he had 6 finishes of 30th or worse . Then another year ( not sure which one, I'd have to Google it, but I know it's a fact cause I'm a diehard Gordon fan) he had over a 300 point lead which would've been totally insurmountable with 10 races left. But that lead was completely erased and the driver with more wins was in first when the Chase started. As a matter of fact, Mr. Gordon would have 7 championships had they not implemented the chase. Take a look at Earnhardt Sr's championship seasons and see how many times he won the most races (Not very many times). I'm quite sure he would think it was a joke. Why do you think it has declined so much ? Stands are practically empty. If you know your racing you would remember that 5 drivers were mathematically still eligible for the championship the last race of '92. And as I'm sure you know anything can happen clear down to the last lap. They ran off the lifelong fans as well as the new ones they acquired. Stage racing is ridiculous. They've made a change almost every year since it started. Nothing but a wreck fest at the end of the races now cause the drivers could care less if they tear up these multi- million dollar race cars now, because they know all they have to do is win and finish in the top 30 in points and they're in. Really ? I mean you really think Kyle Busch should be able to miss 11 races and still be eligible just cause he won a couple of races. Totally bogus. Never in a million years could he make up that deficit. That'd be like The Patriots starting 0-11 cause Brady was hurt and they still make the playoffs because of their popularity. It wasn't broken. Examples: Earnhardt by 10 over Wallace, Earnhardt by 12 over Martin, (a year in which Martin was docked 100 points by Nascar for an illegal part), Gordon over Jarrett by 14 points, Gordon over Earnhardt by 37, (by the way that's 8 measly positions) , hell you can lose that in the pits. Last but not least in that '92 race I spoke about earlier Kulwicki over Elliott by 5 points. I used to be able to look at the finishing order and tell how many points my driver gained or lost within a few points. Now I have to wait till the race is over and let the announcers tell me. That's all really a mute point anyway. If you're getting your butt kicked like say in football, um get better. They don't say ok New England you're winning way too much so you only get to play with 10 players this year to make it fair. 😂😂😂😂 The only thing they should have done was give more points for winning. I'm completely fine with that. But erasing points is totally unacceptable. Especially 300 point leads. Ok Mr. Brady you're winning by 7 TD'S at the half so we're going to reset the score at the start of the 3rd quarter. It's a complete JOKE now. Thanks Brian France. I'm sure you're Father would be proud of you for driving this great sport into the ground. Rant over... 😖😖😖😖 Wait no it isn't. 13 out of 33 isn't trying. Including the last race. No way you can tell me Mark Martin wasn't trying when he won 7 races. Any other year but that one is his Championship...

[@hunglo9917]

Chris Shockey This is exactly how I feel on the subject. I too am a die hard Gordon fan. NASCAR fell off a cliff once they implemented the new points system. Thats when I stopped caring so much. Gordon was untouchable in 07, I believe it was. He had the biggest lead in NASCAR history going into the playoffs. But, since Jimmie Johnson had won one more race than Gordon in the regular season, Jimmie started the playoffs in first with a 20 point lead over Gordon. I mean what kind of stupid fucking shit is that?!?! There is no way in hell Jimmie wins 5 in a row under the regular points system. No body would ever win that many in a row. Not even Dale Sr. or Jeff Gordon. I’m not hating on Jimmie, I think he’s an excellent driver. But I just can’t bring myself to call him a true 7 time champion. I just can’t do it.

[@johnboy4025]

It also makes it boring when you try to force every year to be like 1992 at the cost of someone’s hard work... 2004, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016... 2018 (big 3 anyone?!). So yeah when you have a few years like 1998 and then have a crazy year like 1992 that follows, it makes it more special... do you expect every Super Bowl to be super close and if it isn’t so you expect the NFL to just manipulate things?
